almost giving up on GT-I9500

I have a GT-I9500 that is Region locked(Middle East),I tried almost everything but nothing works for me.....H*ll I don't mind paying for unlocking codes,but i read somewhere that Region Locked is different,so buying unlocking codes might not really work,the phone comes with the new bootloader(phone made 2013.10.13),pls if anybody has a solution/suggestion or even a reliable website that can provide genuine "Region Unlocking codes" should share.

what i ve tried so far but still did not work

1-Region unlock app by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

2-Try entering service mode by *#0011#

3-Root and install a custom rom(Crash Rom)

4-Terminal Emulator (to calculate unlock codes)

5-Change the Modem (tried all the modems,more than 10)

If anybody can help,pls kindly assist....

Thank you all

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pipsqueak22:
Hello All

I have a GT 7000 with stock 4.1.2 on it and it is only rooted.

It told me it had downloaded firmware update which i pressed install ( not knowing I shouldn't have because of my note being rooted) , and in doing so it is now just showing the little android dude with the blue thing in his tummy going round

Pressing volume up, home, power button won't do anything.

I can only get it into odin mode ( volume down, home, power button )

I am a complete noob and not sure what to do to get my note to work.

A friend said I need to flash a new rom via odin and I cant find a clear guide on how to do that.

For I can't afford to brick my note.

Please help

Kindest regards

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
You have to have the samsung drivers installed for odin to work.

To get a stock rom google for sammobile. There are all official formwares (You will have to register).

After that extract that file, run odin and select the pda file (extracted md5 file).

Flash it. After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data.

You should be fixed now.

Odin is the way to go and the only way. Use this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 it will show how to flash Philz kernel on your phone and then you will have cwm. After that you will have to get a cwm flashable Rom out of the android dev section and put on your sd card, usb mass storage my work in philz kernel if so just put Rom on card and flash through cwm. Then phone will work or find a guide on pc Odin for flashing stock n7000 roms they are out there
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raggerty64:
This just happened to me!!

Thanks jakuburban for your advice.

Though i didn't need to "After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data." or maybe i do.:confused:

I just let it finish booting etc and everything was working fine,everything intact and okey dokey.

Can anyone say why this happened and what to do about updates in the future please?

Thanks again guys.:laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Yeah, you sometimes don't need to wipe data. I told You to do this to be 100% sure it will work.

For the future, You can't use official update if You have root (normally it should give You information that You can't update the os because "Your device has been modified"), as You don't have original cwm and it won't boot into cwm to update Your os.

Still having Trouble

Hi Guys,

Thanks heaps for your advice:)

I did what you said jakuburban but odin would get through seemmed like it was almost there then hung/froze o_O

this is what was in the Odin txt box

"

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> N5120XXCMI1_N5120VNZCMH5_N5120XXCMG7_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection.."

and just hung/froze at that point well over an hour.

and unpluged it - can still only get into odin mode

Not sure what to do?

Is this where I have to flash a hole new Rom?

Im not sure how to do this as I was looking at putting cyanogenMod rom on but I was reading some where not all rom's come in .tar forms

and I downloaded the latest stable rom from cyanogenMod but it is a . zip

so im not sure what to do there?

Thanks heaps

Hanging at that place means there is some problem with the connection between note and pc. Make sure you have all the drivers installed and use original USB cable and main USB ports.

So, we've been rather quiet on the CM11 front - but don't assume we aren't working on lots of fixes across the board.

Hi all,

I've noticed that on two apps I use that the font has changed to a strange outline style font, rather than a solid font. The most obvious app is documents to go. Every word doc or spreadsheet has hollow outlined fonts. Has anyone else seen this? Even after a factory restore it is still wrong.

Hi!

Im new here. I see that there are many experienced members here, and i hope that could help me solve the problem.

I have rooted galaxy s2, JB 4.1.2 and kernel siyah v6.0b5.But suddently my usb storage,sdcard0 and micro SD Card became protected.

I can't move or delete files. (error access denied) Can't download anymore from google play, and applications can't save on sdcard0 anymore.

But my phone is rooted and i can use all applications that i have installed.

Also when i connect phone with pc, and if i want to delete any folder, i get a warning 'the storage is write protected' (sdcard0). But phone is rooted.

I already did factory reset, and i try to format usb storage but files always come back. I also rooted again I've put all my knowledge, but i can't find a solution.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You both need to flash stock firmware in download mode with Odin as many times as you need to until your phone works normally again. If you have problems with Odin or flashes appear successful but the phone still won't boot normally, search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread & try the stuff in that thread. Specifically, If you're in a situation where flashes appear to be successful but the phone still bootloops, flash the 3 part firmware linked to in his thread (only if you defnitely have an I9100 though; if you have another variant, don't).
